This is So HEARTBREAKING on So many levels.

A Georgia military family decided to give up their one and a half year old dog Spot, after learning that the Army had assigned them to move to Korea in 2016 for a year. Ashley and Blake Lechner dropped Spot off at the Fort Benning Animal Control facility on Saturday. The dog was so distraught, it had to be carried inside. I'm crying right now!! The family got home and quickly realized they made a terrible MISTAKE and couldn't go through with it. The deployment also wound up being cancelled. They tried to get in touch with the Tri County Animal Rescue Center, which handles strays and surrenders for the base, but couldn't because it was the weekend.

It gets WORSE! On Monday, the Lechner's were told the 12 hour grace period for families to change their minds had expired! The family pleading with them to get their dog back, but the Shelter won't budge. It says people change their minds 3 months down the road, and want their dog back, and it's just not good for the animal.
We're talking hours, in this case. Really??

The Lechner's have now hired an attorney to get Spot home. He says Blake Lechner is serving his country and deserves his dog back. Tri County Rescue has Spot up for adoption, but says he won't be placed in a new home for 2 or 3 weeks.

In the meantime, the dog is in a Shelter, extremely depressed, sad and scared.
